4 NS-1 SIMULATION SOFTWARE
NS-1 software is a R&D simulation tool derived application. It processes measured speaker data with complex mathematical
algorithms to assist the user in optimizing system design. Due to the complexity of the interaction of multiple cabinets, it is simply
not possible to reliably design curved vertical arrays without using the processing power of a computer to predict the optimum
array structure for a given audience geometry. The design logic is far more complex than looking at a section drawing of the
venue, measuring the overall angle needed to cover the audience from the cluster location, and dividing by 10 degrees to
determine the required amount number of GEO S1210 cabinets.
NS-1 is an easy to use tool that allows to shape the energy leaving the cluster to fit the audience. It predicts pressure levels
radiated from the system to ensure enough cabinets are provided for the application, as well as mechanical constraints for safe
flown systems.
In addition, it provides mechanical information for all clusters in agreement with Structural Analysis Reports (available in the
Help section): dimensions, weight, gravity centre position, forces, moments, working load and safety factor.
GEO S12 and LS18 Structural Analysis Report is currently being certified by German Certification Organization RWTUV systems
GmbH.
NS-1 installation package includes all NEXO User Manuals, Structural Analysis Reports and Certificates PDF files.
NS-1 is a freeware available on nexo-sa.com
IMPORTANT
Never install a GEO S12 and/or LS18 cluster without checking its acoustical performances and mechanical
safety in NS-1 prior to installation.
